  • Possibly TaylorMade's BEST EVER club!
    In this video Rick Shiels PGA golf professional put the brand new TaylorMade Golf Milled Grind 2 wedge through its paces at The Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country Club.
    TaylorMade golf are not as well know for their wedges as brands like Titleist Vokey or Cleveland Golf but the new TaylorMade MG2 wedge has something different from most other wedges on the market.
    The wedges will be used by some of TaylorMade Golf's PGA Tour & European Tour players including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day & Dustin Johnson

    Hi I'm Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UA-cam channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
    I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
    I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
    I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
    On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes "gimmicky" golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

    Got one of these on clearance about a month back and OMG what a wedge. Perfect amount of spin and control when paired with a decent ball. Find I don't need to carry a 60 deg now which frees up a club. Nice grip standard. I got the 56 low 8deg bounce model and find it very forgiving also as it don't dig into turf. Have already holed out twice for 🦅 from 40 and 60 yards hehe. I have officially been converted from prev only playing vokey. Can't wait to get some rust going on the face.

    Great video - I've always liked the look of rust, and thought about testing. But that was a really nice way to show the effects of it. I thought we'd see a little more backspin with the rust, but that makes sense. They spend so much time on R & D I'm not sure how we could beat their numbers. Nice video !

  • @benlunnon-wood6008
    @benlunnon-wood6008 4 роки тому +31

    Question Ric. Once the rust has developed do you envisage going through 3 balls a round? I’m seeing the finish as being akin to sandpaper and am a little concerned about damaging the ball. Thoughts?

    I’ve always been a fan of the old ATV wedges. They’ve been in my bag for years!! I’ve replaced them with newer ones every year. I’ve not been a fan of the milled grind wedges. Always thought that they were a gimmick. However, I bought a 50, 56 & had a 60 made into a 62. I’ve been using them for a few weeks now and can honestly say that they are the best wedges I’ve ever had. The spin and feel is sublime.

    For only 200 rpm, I'll stick with my md4s. I don't like the rust look, so for only 200 rpm, it's not worth it for me

      Wedge grooves wear down over time; it's possible the rusty face re-rusting will keep the friction higher and let your wedges last longer.

      Honestly I used to think the same way. Then I tested a raw Vokey wedge against a chrome one in WET conditions. Day and night difference.

    Rusty wedges don’t spin more, it makes wedges feel softer and reduces glare, rust decreases spin

      Does the same logic not apply to wearing grooves that dont rust? With the difference being that when grooves wear nothing replaces them so spin goes down and down till you have to replace anyways? So if the end result is replacing the club in both scenarios i would rather have the one that is keeping spin numbers up throughout its life.

      How long do you keep your wedges for anyway? If you're playing every week and practicing once a week they won't last more than a year and be effective...

      I hear this all the time and I completely disagree. I have had my Vokey SM4 wedges for around 400-500 rounds of golf and I still get ~9k rpm. Maybe I was getting 12-13k spin rate when I first got them, but at this point the spin I generate is almost perfect for amateurs. I have the ability to stop the ball on longer shots and play pitch shots that bite. I will concede that chips and very short pitch shots don't stop as much as they used to, but that isn't something that screams "I need new wedges". New wedges run around $500 for a new set of 3 after shipping, and a fitting will run you an additional $50-100 depending on location. In conclusion most amateurs shouldn't even be conceptualizing on short spinning approach shots because of the difficulty to execute said shots. In the long run it is much more efficient for someone to keep wedges for 2-3 years if not longer so long as their spin rate is where they want it. Invest the ~$500 into a few lessons or a few more rounds with friends rather than new wedges every year that, realistically, don't have a massive impact on your game.

      @@breakinggates I'm not talking about wearing all the way down on the grooves till there's nothing left, as yes i agree you may never get there. I'm just talking about till either club gets to a replacement point, which for typical wedges for me is a drop in spin rate more than 3000 rpm ish. So if the rust can make that a longer time period by keeping my spin numbers up by essentially "consuming" the face and re-rusting then it could be a win.
